There are always so many things to worry about when trying to decide but if its what you really want when the time comes none of it will matter IYKWIM!
When we went from three to four we had a commodore wagon and got a ****ie seat put in and then went from 4 to 5 and got another ****ie seat put in nad then we decided that it was too cramped and so we started searching for a vehicle that suited all our needs! It is impossible for the older kids to use those ****ie seats in most four wheel drives , and Dh wanted a 4wd. I wanted a van as i figured at least all the kids would have decent leg room. We ended up coming across the mitsubishi delica, you can get these in 7 or 8 seats, plenty of leg room and if Dh is keen it is also a 4wd! You can even gt a short or long wheel base! Trust me if you do like these look at the long wheel base as you get heaps of room behind the seats! Unfortunately the one we got was a short wheel but when we update we will go the long wheel for sure!
As for coping through the pg you will manage, we all do somehow! I found that i would ( and do again now as we have a surprise 7 on the way) get really tired just after lunch so i just have a nap in the day time when DS does! Dh is great too and helps out as much as possible and so do the older ones which is great!
As for the house, we have played the shirley shuffle game here quite a bit! But now we are extending ( hopefully real soon) as we jsut have no room left and everything is sooo cluttered!
But at the end of the day my theory is if it is meant to be you always find a way to get around it!!! Good luck either way, it is definately wonderful having a large fam though!!!!
